Climate Justice Activist Calls for ‘Redistribution of Wealth’

EXCERPT:

SEALEY-HUGGINS: “At the same time, the U.K. is continuing to drill for oil and gas. It’s basically supporting these carbon bomb projects like the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields. The latter, which is potentially set to be approved shortly, would blow our climate targets out of the water and it would produce more CO2 than the world’s lowest 28 — sorry, than the world’s 28 lowest income countries combined. And these projects are all funded, financed, and insured through the City of London. So the money is there, it’s there in the £17 billion worth of tax breaks that are going to projects like North Sea oil and gas. So yeah, we don’t have to choose between the North and the South, the rich and the poor. This isn’t about charity, this is about justice, it’s about responsibility, and it’s about redistribution of wealth and power.”
